Midwest starts Seattle/Tacoma Service

[FlyWolf]

Midwest announced today the new destination as part of our 2007 growth plan, it will start on April 1st., using our Signature service (B717), customers have been asking for Seattle for a while now.

I am hoping Salt Lake and Portland is next

Cheers

At long last.....Seatac. PDX and SLC would be nice additions.

[TWA Dude]

Good news, but I assume with a stop in MCI?

 

[FlyWolf]

No EX CV580, didn't hear anything yet.

Midwest management will discuss and answer questions about the the growth plans.

2- Annual community meetings starting Monday the 29th of Jan.
Tim, will provide some info on the business plan going forward, I am hoping he will also cover the merger info, the info is available on yxnet. Let me know if you can't find the meeting schedule info, I can PM them to you.

Yes, I forgot the mention that, it will be from MCI.

Kinda figured you had meant that. Yeah I looked at coporate comms and didn't see anything but see the schedule for community meetings.

Thanks for the info Wolf.

My upgrade partner was from SeaTac and she had mentioned that there were advertisements for Midwest out there and that was about a year and a half ago. Always thought that was interesting.

Thursday is the 10 business day deadline for the Midwest BOD to make their recommendation to the shareholders

If you get SLC service, I'm sure it will be operated by SKYW.

I won't be surprised to see MKE-SEA announced later after we get the two MD-80 around the 2nd quarter.

By federal law under the US Securities and Exchange, Midwest must respond within 10 business days of the previous offer to their shareholders. That would make the magic date January 25, 2007. I guess we will see in about 48 hours from now.

I thought that was beyond the 717's range?

From MCI? I wouldn't think so?

 

[STL717]

MCI-SEA 1294 NM great circle distance
Boeing Specs, range - 1430 NM

 

[FlyWolf]

Yes, we are already flying MCI-LAX which is like 1200 NM. So SEA is reachable by the 717 from MCI.
